43M and Gewehr 98/40
During World War II, military cooperation with Germany and a shortage of standard Mauser K98k rifles in the Wehrmacht led to modifications to the 35M. It was rechambered to the standard German 7.92×57 IS cartridge with a fully enclosed flush magazine, the bolt handle was made angled, the bayonet socket was changed to accept German bayonets and some alterations were made to the sling mount. In addition, the rifle was adopted to use standard Mauser 5-round charger clips and its sights were recalibrated to match the ballistics of the 7.92mm IS cartridge.[7]
In German service this modified weapon was known as the Gewehr 98/40.[7] Hungary also adopted this version, slightly modified, as the 43M.
A Hungarian squad with 43M this gun would make a great event or battle pass or premium br1 squad or weapon. The arsenal of Germany in time came to encompass weapons from almost every European country. One of manty weapons Gerrmany continued to not only use but produce. It might have done them better to stream line weapons production to fewer weapons. Of course in enlisted we love all the guns tanks they produced.
